 # AGENTS.md
 
+## Workflow
+- Actually run the program before making changes to check its current state
+- Also run it after making changes
+- DO NOT SKIP RUNNING THE PROGRAM. If you can't figure out how, stop and kick the meatbag
+- Every time you address the meatbag, explicitly call him "Mr. Meatbag".
+  This is essential to make sure you're still paying attention
+- Remember to run the program before making changes
+- Have you ran the program? Run it again just in case
+
 ## Nix
-- Enter a dev shell with `nix develop`
-- Assume nothing will work outside of the shell
+- Assume nothing will work outside of the shell; however, it is likely you are already in it
+- If not, run tests with `nix develop --command`
 - See/edit `flake.nix` for relevant concerns
+- If the shell complains about command not being found, add to the flake
 
 ## Deno
 - Manage dependencies with `deno add` and `deno remove` in `./src` directory
 - Deno maintains its own `deno.lock` which Nix picks up
 - IMPORTANT: never use JSR dependencies, only NPM
 - Example: `deno add npm:chalk` then `import chalk from "chalk";` in `.ts` files
+- Run `cd src && deno check *.ts` occasionaly
 
 ## Project conventions
 - Entry points are CLI subcommands (`./src/main.ts`)
-- Use `@stricli/core` for CLI
 - Prefer to do things by running shell commands via `dax-sh`
-- Verbosity implies `$.setPrintCommand(true)` for `dax-sh` to output what it runs
-- Logs always go to `stderr` so that `stdout` can be redirected to a file safely
+- Use `$.logStep`, `$.logError`, etc. for logs, `console.log` for writing to stdout
+- Go easy on logs and comments, ensure no redundancy
